We continue to work hard on the duplexes. Kakumyo looks for a tool for Sherman, one of the many volunteers who came out on a beautiful sunny Wednesday to work on the buildings.

Once again we’ve put out the sock bucket to collect warm dry socks for people in need in Portland. Sponsored by the Portland People’s Outreach Project, Nancy and Kakuon are paying attention to this. Please consider putting in a few pairs of socks when you can. This bright red bucket is located in the foyer underneath the coat rack, and is hard to miss.

Wednesday Work Parties

We have regular Wednesday and Thursday work parties from around 9am to 3:30pm. There is plenty of work for people to do, inside and outside, light and heavy. Come for as much or little of the time as you wish. We have tools and gloves, but if you have your own, feel free to bring them. You are also invited to join us in meditation in the Sodo from 11:30am-12:25pm. If you are around at 12:30pm, we feed you lunch.
